Jurassic World Rebirth: A Franchise on the Brink of Extinction? – A Critical Analysis
Hollywood, CA – July 2, 2025 – After decades of thrilling audiences, the Jurassic Park franchise appears to be stumbling with its latest installment, Jurassic world: Rebirth. Directed by Gareth Edwards and penned by David Koepp (who notably scripted the 1993 original), the film is already drawing criticism for a lack of fresh ideas and a narrative that feels… extinct. Early reviews suggest this could be a pivotal moment for the series, perhaps signaling its decline.What’s the Story?
Jurassic world: Rebirth picks up five years after the events of Jurassic World: Dominion. The film presents a sobering reality: the Earth’s current ecosystem is proving antagonistic to the dinosaurs. Those that remain are relegated to isolated, tropical climates mirroring their prehistoric habitats. This sets the stage for a morally ambiguous plot centered around Martin Krebs (Rupert Friend), a pharmaceutical executive seeking to exploit dinosaur DNA for a heart disease cure.Krebs hires veteran mercenary Zora Bennett (Scarlett Johansson) to lead an expedition to a long-abandoned InGen research island – a site teeming with mutated dinosaur test subjects. Adding complexity, the narrative also follows Reuben Delgado (Manuel Garcia-Rulfo) and his family, who find themselves shipwrecked on the same perilous island. Paleontologist Dr. Henry Loomis (Jonathan Bailey) joins Bennett’s team, driven by a desire to observe dinosaurs in their natural habitat, despite ethical concerns.
